Spectal Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. - SimATOGA HPRINGS, N. Y., May 12— Among the thousands of guests who visit the Saratoga Springs each year, and who look .. forward to the recurring seasons with great pleasure, are a vast numper who are within the jurisdiction and daily peruse the columns of THE CmicaGo TRIBUNE. Among the 00,000 people who regularly visitthis fameus ‘sunmer-resort Chicago and the Northwest are well represented, as may be verified by s glance at any of the hotel registers. While alarge number come for pleasure, the vast majority seek the. beneficial effects of the clear and bracing atmosphere and the ever gushing waters that flow from the health- giving mineral fountains; or to quote an emineut divine and ola habitué, the Rev. Dr. Cruper, to gain bealth ana streagth by drinking the mineral waters ** compounded in Nature's ratory.” Already at this early date the throngs at the several springs are daily lncreas- 2. snd more especially may this be observed - atthe early-breukfust hour, {rom 6 to § o'ciock. - A BRILLIANT, BUSY SEASON EXPECTED. :Saratogians anticipate a flattering season, 8001 10 begin, and the indications at the pres- ent time point very favorably in this direc- ton. This village, with a census credit of over 10,000 residents, is undergoing itsan- neal cleaning, a watermgz-place term which includes everything in the line of renovation; and before the lapse of many days the springs will be in complete order for the reception of guests, no matter how thick or fast they come, and, in fact, the advance guard is al- Teady here, as may be noticed by the increas- Iig nuinber of new faces seen on the streets and at- the springs. - General improvements Dere have been quite extensive this spring, and the echo of the resonant note of prepara- tion hay been heard for some time. Work + Was commenced some time before the disso- Intlon of the last banks of snow that con- claded the faul chapter of the winter's frigid Tecord. The changes and additions mude are of 2 sobstantial character, and the efforts thus put Torth favolve a farge outlay and indicate shat eversthing is being done to insure the comfort d _accommodation of Saratoga's welcomo Rucsts. The lurge botcls—the fnionse caravin- _Earies frequently spoken of—are now in posses- :8lon of thelr respoctive advance corps, and tho Gaily results jn the house-cleaning and house- settiing lins argue exceodingly well for the for- mal opening na‘ty 1n June, now so close at hund. - THE RECOGNIZED CONVENTION ~HEAD- s QUARTERS. Saratoza Springs has long since estab- lished its reputation as one of the best places In the United Statws for the holding of con- Yections, especially during the months of y, June, July, August, and September, _and even into October, put during the latter " Month early fall rains are liable to be met With. This is based on -the fact that Sara- 22’s accomnodations for the care of guests -and delegates, in large numbers at central ‘Dolnts; are unequaled. . As many as four the same time,-yet-there-was-ample room for as many more, This village hasaccommoda- tions for 15,000 guests at the same time, and itis a matter of history that on certain dates these figures have been doubled. Saratoga environs about 100 hotels and over 400 boarding-houses. Under the heading of “boarding-houses” are several tuat have a capacity for accommodating from 75 to 2 guests, and in such instances eqnaling the capacity of an average hotel in a city. This place Isagood-sized, henlthy villsge in the * off ** und during the genlai perind of the late ummer, and autumn, presents a beauti- rustic picture ana representation of brignt, spirited, spurkling, and ever-busy metropolitai ‘months, lite. ~ It 1s a grand and gala centre, a seat of recreaton and enjoyment, whero friends meet trlends, &nd the rexular habitués here assemble and greet from every State in the Union acquaintances of that indefinit period, * the good old times.” There is nothtuyg loud here: %15 a rare, quiet enjorment, 50 much proferred by those seeking oecded rest. JUDGE HILTON’S WOODLAWN RETREAT. Ex-Judge Henry Hilton, heavily interested in Saratoga real-estate, Is spending a fund of money beautifying his country seat, Wood- lawn, located -at the north edge of the vil- lage, and fronting on Broadiway, the princi- pal boulevard of this spa. By purchases over a year ago and recent additions, Judge Hilton has several hundred acres at Wood- lawn. Itis partially covered by wonds, and a pretty pond, Love Lake, is included among the recent acquisitions. The work beinz done by a force of over 100 men at this seat is of the most substantial character. Miles of drives and walks lead to every portion of Waodlawn, all of which is open to the public, through the generosity of the millionaire owner. Before the improvements there are completed, the Judee will undoubtedly have expended several hundred thousands of dol- lars. The Judge’s rural residence and sur- rounding buildings are very neat and of the latest architectural order. yet at the same time there is no ostentatious display. Woodlawn occuples one of the most commanding sites In this secton, and the view atforded is not ex- ceiled bere. 1t is located at the foothills of the Adirondacks, which begin at the northern limit of this village. Across a valley to-the west lay the Greenficid Hills; far to the east, the Green Mountains of Vermont: the blue and purple line to the snuth, the Catskills: at the foot of Woodlawn, the Villuge of Saratogn Springs, al- most concealed Ly stately elms, lofty steeples and towers. hotel domes and cxnlted chimneys, here and there lifting their lofty bight above the topmost branches: apparently but A short remove distant, Saratogn Lake, whose mirrored surface has time snd agaln been the aquatic course for college, amateur, and professional rowing contests. Woodluwn aud the landscape picture presented rounds out and embelisbes a briliiant view. Cbicagoans will find it one of the most prominent uttractions bere. CHARLES REED, THE TURF3MAN, who makes his home here, Is completing a 850,000 residence on Union avenue, the boule- vard that leads from the centre of the village to Saratoga Lake. Its architecture comblngs several of the leading styles prevailing at this time, added to which are a few orlginal ae- signs and changes by Mr. a_nd Mrs. Reed. Among these are life-size pictures of each member of the family, in delicately-colored glass, occupying prominent places in the massive and elaborate windowsof the draw- Ing-room and parlors. ‘The beautiful outlines of the glass-photographs, so tospeak, occupy the full sash, and the effect from the interlor of the apartments, as well as from the ex- terior, is very fine. For the amouut expend- ed, Mr. Read’s residence is one of the most compléte and attractive in this section. It Is Tow receiving the finishing touches. While referring to Mr. Reed as a turfman, perhaps it would be as well to say in this connection that be bas an extensive stock farm, whion he re- cently put in operanon, ncar the soutbeustern Shore of Saratoga Luke and distant about elght miles from his residence. Its titlo Is the = Meu- dow Bruok Stock Farm,” and there of race stocl alone he mustered cighty-seven borses, and many of themn the tinest strun of ructag bloo Enown. Only & couple of weeks.ago he sent & string of adozen fiyers fo EHaltimore, Md., to train for tho Pimlico Park running races. whict Socur May 24 to 2. They will also curry the Reed colors ut Jerome Park races (New ork City) Sfar 30 toJuned.

IMIPROVED LOC: Ewbraced in AL RATLROAD FACILITIES. the improvements here this railrond from the heart or centre of the vil- lago to Saratoga Lake, a force of men hav- ing been employed on this work since the autumn of 81, ground being broken at the close of the season. Itliscalled the *Sara- toga Lake Rallway,” and Is being pushed forward by Gen. W. R. Burt, of Boston, now & resldent of this place, and who represents Boston and New York capitalists. Gen. Burt—who was Postmaster at the * Hub ” under Grant—intends to make this road a link in the chain of roads by which he hopes and expects to give Boston another connee- tion with the lakes for the benefit of the Western trade. The Saratoga Lako Railroad is favorably looked upon here, for, practical- ly speaking, it will bring the village and lake (now four miles apart) closer together,— within tiftcen minutes of each other. It is the intention to run hourly trips, and to charge the nominal rate of 10 cents each way. ‘The road as laid out passes several of the mineral springs, and It 1s understood will stop at most of thew. The mineral fountains within a few yards of iis llno are the United States and Pavillon Springs, tho Seltzer Spring, the High Rock Spring, the Emplre Sprmg, tne hhn{m’:l.u.:Enrln%i the Star Spring, the Excelsior Spring, the Eureka Sulphur, and White Sulpnur Springs. The roud passes north, de- scribes a sumi-circle in reaching tho lake, the depot ut which point will be located on the sbore in the viclnity of the Briggs House ut the Nurrows, in the vicinity of Moon's famous Lake House. The Narrows will be spanned bya bridee, partly constructed, and the road will be extended on” o line ndjucent und puraliol to the eastern sbore of this benutiful sheet of water, sweeping near the White Sulphur Park Ho el at the south end, and will then pass onward in u soutneasterly direction acruss the Saratogn bat- tle-tiold, and will cross the Hudson River o the Boston Hoosue Tunnel and Wesiern R rond bridge ut Stiliwater. It is also the ntea- gon to luy another branch of the Rumlw: ¥ on tho west shore of the Inke, und ultimately ex- tend it to Ballston Spa, seven or eight miles dis- tant. The lnying out and comstruction of tais roud thus far has not interfered with any ol the fine drives, over which, durlog the season. m iy be seen daily spinning #long the splendid pr vare establishinenis and Luruouts of Suratoga’s sum- mer guests. Sp much for the new rallway and rapld transit to Suratogn Lake. CONGEESS SPRING PATK, a delectable spot, will stand forth in greater beauty than ever this season, a force of arti- sans having been employed there for several months and still daily adding to its general appearance. ‘The colonnade, extending fro.n the Columbian Spring to the Congress Spring. and thence to the Café, a distance of about oue thousand feet, has been improveid by an artistic roofing, intended to afford shel- ter during storms and to intercept evening dew. Several new walks and promenades have been laid out. and the work of gravel- ing is about completed. . The zreen sward and the stately elms and piues are awaiting the arrival of reassembling thousanas, who lova to while away the happy and hours In this povular retreat.” Brow: ton Brigade Band will return to the park on July Eth, und will furnish the music bere until the falllng leaves indicate the waning of the season ju the late autumo. Uatil tho arrival of the B. Ii. B, B., other music will be supplied, as the purk wlil ‘be formaliy opened early 1n _June. The park concerts are very popular, and during the “children’s hour™ in the afternoon these grounds fairly sparkle with the vivacity and bright young life,—the coming men and women, —whose exuberanco of spirits mnke ull hearts Fiad. On occuslons of evening concerts, wnen the musoal program Is interspersed with pyro- technical displuy, It is no uncommon thing 10 see assembled in this park over four thousand peo- ple, representing every State in the Univn, be- sides the Dominfon. Central and South Americi, Europe. and_the balance of the internntional furms on this cooling sphere. The Congressand Empire Spring Company bas decided tp {Humi- pate the park _this season with the elcctric light, and the manAZers are noW negoti- ating with the Weston Electric L:ght Company aof New York. The effect of the inceadescent light on the park follago will be beautiful in toa extreme. While the light of the future IS * be- fore the house,"” it muy be well to note the fact that the electric light promises to become gen- eral here within a stort time. THE “SARATOGA ELECTRIC ILLUMINATING COMPANY,” capltal §50,000, has within a few days filed articles of association with the Secretary of State, and the incorporators propose to illu- minate Broadway within certain limits in- side of the next. ten days. Partof the plant is already jere, and the balance is expected daily. The street lamps will be of 2,000 can- dle-power, and twenty-lamp generators will be used.

The Bathorn Rink, adjoining the Hathorn Spm_-lg, in which the American Pharma- ceutical Association made their splendid dis- play of drugs during the annual meeting last September, is being converted. into a vast bazaar, which will be one of the new and pleasing features here the coming sum- mer. The Putnam Spring, one of the oldest min- eral fountains at this Spa, has been leased for a term of years by C. R. Brown, whois expending a considerable amount in erecting a’commodious bath-house and retubing the spring. The water is of an excellent quality, and the flow of gas abundant. The difticuly task of retubing has been superintended by Dr. J. P. Haskins. The Old Red Spring falls in line with the march of bullding Improvements, as does also the Empire Bpring and the Viehy Sprivg. tho Intter being located in the Geyserville suburb of this village. An extensive boutling house pus been erccted by the compuny Owning tho Chnmplon Spouting Soring.

The moruing, afternoon, und evening concerts einbrace some of the finest se- lections, ecxquisitly rendered. Prof. C. W. Stub and orchestra, of New York, witl return to the United States Hotel. Napier Lothinnand bis Boston Theatre musiciaus. have agnin en- wuged thelr services at the Grand Union Hotel. Prof. A. Bernstein's orchestra, of New York, will, during the midsummer_months, entertain the Congress Hall guosts. Brown's Boston Bri- rnde Band will resume its place in_the Park, ns already mentfoned. It is understood that the proprietors of the Clurendon Hotel are contom- pinting adding muslc to the daily attractions at this hostelry. There are two or three local mus- icul organizations of no meun pretensions that do duty at several ot the larger boarding-houses and turnish the harmonious elasticity “for the Lops. Music abounds here, and is highly ap- preciated by the guests. WHEN THE TROUBLE WILL BEGIN. The large hotels will formally openat dates scattered along from June 1 to 15. ‘The United States Hotel, Tompkins, Gage & Co., have expended several thousand dol- 1arsin needed improvements during the win- ter and spring, and this immense caravansary is to-day in better order than ever betore. ‘The Grand Union Hotel, owned by the A. T Stewart estate and leased by Henry Clair, while recelving no speclal additlon to its im- mense proportions, is belng put in the most thorough order.. _Congress Ilall, Clement & Wilkinson, be- sides ‘the probable introduction of the elec- tric light, already alluded to, is improvinz its accommodations by the addition of a larze number of bath rooms and other auxifiaries. The Clarendon Hotel, managed so many years by Charles E. Leland, of "the Delevan, at Albany, and last year by Chamberlin & Powell, will this season be under the con- trol of a new firm,—Losckram & Harris. Mr. Losekram Is a New Yorker, and well known in hotel circles In that city. His partner, Mr. Har- is, has for o number of yeirs occupled o promi- nent position, at Willard Hotel, Washiagton, D. C. The Clurendon i3 betng thoroughly repaired, and un elevator, a_long-felt want ut this hotel, is betng constructed.. ‘The Windsor Hotel, owned by Judge Hilton and leased by Charles H.Shelley, almost com- pletely rebuilt last year, Is being put fn con- ventonal order. o ‘The American Hotel. one of tne smaller of the Broadway hotels, remained closed last year.

Edward Trickett, tho Australiansculler, now in England, is expected within a short time, and wili be fol- lowed here by Ellfott, the Enxlish oarsman. Other prominent narsman bave signitied these intention aud willingness to come here, and the Pprospects are very favorable for a number of hotly-coutested nquatic events. THE SUMMER’S RACES. The Saratoza races over the track and un- der the auspices of the Saratoga Racing As- sociation will begin on Saturday, July 16, and conciude on Saturday. Aug. 27. The dates announced for the first meeting are July 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 30, and Aug. 2; and for the second meeting Aug. 4, 6, 9, 11. 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, and 27. There are what are called the *regular days,” for which eveuts have already been promulgated. ‘The alter- nate or “oft” days are also filled in with horse-races, for which special programs are arranged by the Secretary and handicapper. The *off” day_dates are July 18, 20, 22 25 27, and 29, and Aug. 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, ane Not less than four razes are n each nuy,and last season the starter's lag dropped to uces, whicn number will be exceeded this season. A large nuinber of new stakes bave been created, and the nomina- tons for all the cvents are unprecedentedly Inrge. It I8 expected that over 40J race-horses will be assembled here at the opening of turt seuson. Many horses who will partict in the Chicago (11) ruunlng ruces. June 25 to July'14, will come East to Saratoga; and at the close of the racing sports bere will’ move West in time to take part In the Chicago races, cover- imz tho dates of Sept. 12 to 17, The West- ern horses made a very credituble reeord bere Inst year.

Irving's and Ebler's (Astor's) stables bave already reached here. A lurze number of promment associauons and bodies will combine business and pleasure here during the summer months, the eXuct dates of meeting for each having not yet been an- nounced.

Aside from the above, excursions from ditferent points in aud out of the State Lo this resort arc of almost duily occurrence. From the present outlook, and judzing from the large number of applica- catlons constantly being received by munugers of hotels nnd boarding-houses sceuring accom- modations, the seuson ol 1881 promises lgl be a AC. very flattering one. —————— Jim Bennett’s New Yacht, New York World, Messrs. Ward & Stanton, of Newburg, will next week begin the construction of a new tron steam yncht for Mr. Jumes Gordon Bennett. The pians und specificnnons were drawn_by Mr. Stunton some tnonths ago, and sent to Europe to Mr. Beunett, who returned tnem recently with his npproval, and o contract was muade with the Newburs builderstoconstruct the yacht and furnish ber complete.

PERIOLAT. Continuation of That Individual's Examination. Nothing of Any. Interest Gotten from Him. The joint Committee of the County Board and Citizens’ Association met agzain vester- day in the rooms of the County Board, all the members present except Commissioner Hutt, who did not arrive until late. The usual raft of Commissioners were on hand, but aside from Warden Mills, Uncle Billy McNeill, and Mike Bailey there were no out- side spectators. James P. Rootand Henry B. Mason appeared, for the purpose of this examination, for the Citizens’ Associa- tion. Mr. L. H. Bisbee, attorney for Egan, re- sumed THE EXAMINATION OF C. F. PERIOLAT. The latter explained that the amount he raised upon his homestead for the purpose of buying votes for Egan was $5,000. He mortgaged his place Aug. 10, 1875, County-Attorney Willett read a paper handed in by Periolat. This was signed by Ed Walker, and was an assignment by him to Mary J. Periolat.of the power of attorney given to him by McNeill & Son to collect moneys from the County Board. It was de- signed to cover a noteof 515,000 given by Walker to Mrs. Periolat and was accom- panied by a note of date of March 3, 1877, on whieh judzmnent was confessed. In reply to Mr. Bisbee, the witness said that he had some judgments against Walker, but no other papers. He thought he had some other documents bearing the signature of Egzan, but had so far been unable to find them. lic had not seen the books of Juames Forsythe & Co. since 187, If he could obrain them he might be able to furnish wmore detailed information. Forsythe & Co. furnished groceries to Cou to Comumissioners, but all’ goods were paid for, except that there was a bill contracted by Joseph Harris, who afterwards went iuto bankruptey. Witness was not ready to ive the names of the Aldermen to whom he paid money in Ezan’s offi d declined to an answer any questions whatever on that sub- ject. He knew lenry Harms, but would not answer as to whether they had any dealings of acrooked, character. 1le indorsed for arms, and had to pay $5,000 on a judgment. Witness declined to say whether he had any arrangemnent with Ilarms, and wasequal- Iy averse to telling anythingabout hisalleged contracts with other architects than Egan. In fact, he made it very plain that he would give no infonnation outside of what he con- sidered the line of the investization. When cornered he invariably referred counsel to Mr. Egan “(his "client). Witness de- nied ever approaching Otto H. Matz. Witness never got any assistance fromn George t1. Kimberly. 1ie knew Pat 0’Don- nell, meat coutractor for the county. He never paid anyinoney to Samuel Ashton. IHe refused to say whether he advanced money to John Crawford or to any other of the Commissioners named. He declined to sayanything abaut County Commissioners at all, Witness paid money to Phil Conley on behalf of Egan and would give the amount it he could get Forsythe’s books. Every time he and Egan got through with a scheme they would go over to Conley’s and get a lunch. JAMES P. ROOT, ON BEIALF OF THE CITI- ZENS' ASSOCIATION, next took the witness in hand. Periolat re- rted that he had advanced on - account of zan and Armstrong full $31,000, and consid- ered they owed him, including acerued Inter- est, about £30,000. He received $3,200 from them altogether, and declined to say whether he got any money from contractors. Walker borrowed mouey. from him and still owed him $13,000 or so. He would tell about all this when he got ready. He had matters still _unsettled with Sexton, but:.none with the Hinsdale-Doyle Granit Company. ~Wit- ness made an effort to secure for Egan the position of architect of the City-Hall, but he did not get the job. The cross-examination clicited nothing further of any interest. Mr. Mason followed in the same line and ‘with equal non-success so far as getting any- Periolat answered readily enough to alt questions tending to_ineriminate Eran, but would not say anything which would throw used to hold cancuses in his oftice in Me- Cormick Block and settle what they were going to do. They did so much of that work that he could not remember what they did o. Chairman Purington asked the witness if e knew of any systematic attempt to pack the Grand Jury from time to time so—-2s to prevent_the indictment of the Comumission- ers. Witness said_ne did not know; the Commissioners, so far as he knew, generally put their friends in as Grand Jurors. [Great aughte: K ness stated in reply to JMr. Bisbee that he never paid any money to George M. Bogue, Henry M. Smeer. or Carter H. Har- rison, nor did they get their groceries from - Forsythe & Co. Some of the other Commis- sioners bought goods there, but he would tell nothinz about thea, nor would he answer a sinzle further question ‘on that subject. Counsel read the names of the Commissioners who voted for Egan, and asked Periolat if he paid them or any of them money, but he declined to answer either one way or the other. ‘““IF I MENTIONED ANY NAMES,” said Periolat, * that would-give you all the powder and shot you want. Put your own client on the stand: he knows all about it Mr. Kimball moved to adjourn subjeet to - the call of the Chair. 4 JMr. Purington said the Committee would hold a private session with the attornevs, to consider a course of procedure. Mr. Bisbee asked, on behalf of his client, that the adjournment should not be a long one. ‘They were ready to answer all the charges without delay. ‘The session then adjourned. ———— MY HOME, For The Chicaan Tribune.
